Golden Weddin' Tree (Fragment)
(Child 286)
Said there was a little ship,
That sailed upon the sea
And it went by the name
Of the golden weddin' t ree,
And it sailed upon the low and lonesome sea,
When you see those pretty little doves,
Sailing from pine to pine,
A moanin' for their own true love, Lord
Like I moan for mine.
There was a little tree,
That ground by the sea,
And it sailed all around,
To the golden Weddin' T ree,
And it sailed upon the low and lonesome sea.
